vial containing potassium cyanide.
Once doad, they sire mounted on stands
with wings carefully siud completely
distended. To prepare the caterpullars
for the entomologist's cabinet is quite
another thing. The best process for
preserving them is by inllat'.on, n
uviuipulation which requites no little
dexterity and patience. Fig. 4 shows
M. Andre in the act of inflating a
caterpillar. Before this can bo dontv
the insect must tirst bo prepared by
pressing it between sheets of paper,

body sire expelled through the posterior
opening, by making an incision with si

three centimetres from tho end of tho
body, the latter is threaded, so to

glass tube, which is connected by Its
other end to an ordinary rubber spray
ing bulb, or smy bulb provided with
valves for tho admissian and ejection
of air. Tho one shown in Fig. 4 Ia a
combination of two tmihs and an idea

Moreover, during tho luxating proc

3Irs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements.
Apparently trifling incidents- in woman's dnily life frequently produce
displacenaent3 of tho womb. A 6lip cn the Flairs, lifting during menstruation,
standing at a counter, running1 a tewing mnchine, or attending to th meet
ordinary tasks may result in displacement, end n train of. eer ions evils ia6tarteL
The first indication of such, trouble should be. the signal for quick action.
Don't let the condition become chronic th rough neglect or a mistalren idea
that you can overcome it by exercise cr leaving it alone..
